took part in the grand wolfe hunt
Saturday last. A large circle was
formed and the lines chosed in ac-
cording to arrangements. The round
up was made on rising piece Of
ground, where there was no covert,
and owing to the lack of proper cap
tains to keep the ranks of the adj
vancing circle unbroken, a number
of wolves which were scared up es.
capped through aud were not captured.
However, lots of sport was enjoyed,
and two wolves taken in during the
day. Rabbits were very plentiful.

Meeting a young lady in the south

very slightly acquainted, he smiled
one of those hungry smiles, and when
she smiled in return he thought she
was ''gone" on him "right away
quick" and ere the young lady had
gone block, he started to overtake
her. He did not observe that she
had turned up one of the streets, but
seeing female ahead he fastened his
footsteps, overlook her, yanked of
his hat, "Oh, excuse me, but I"-"Go
long dar bout yoh self and leab me
lone, or I'll call fob nightwatch Meek,

response. He has slightly recovered
